Yes I have a D10A in my plane and took out the vacume pump. I am very happy
with it and its ablity to not get lost unless the acro gets extreme. If it
does get lost after some spins or snaps it takes just a few moments to
realign after flying straight and level. The best part is there is no moving
parts to wear out.

This is a blatant plug for a neighbors new book coming out. Some of
you may have heard a legendary Grumman test pilot, Corkey Meyer. You
may have read some of his many contributions to Flight Journal
magazine. He has now published a book, chronicling his 35 years at
Grumman.

If any of You have a CCW, or are planning on qualifying for one, or if not, here is a web site to look at in regards to one state honoring another starts CCW permit, as for the states of New York, Wisconson, and of course California, they have a left wing attitude about a person protecting oneself. Good places to avoid...... www.packing.com It will give you a lot of info... Gary
-------------- Original message from "Schlafly Fred" <fschlafly@sprynet.com>: --------------
If you are flying over country with dangerous game, a .44 mag pistol should be
your minimum protection if forced to land. A short lever rifle in 45-70 or similar
is better. If the dangerous game is on two legs, a .357, 9mm or .40 cal pistol
will work just fine. No pistols allowed in Canada...what a shame. More than
half the States in the US recognize right to carry CCW permits from other
states or do not require a permit. Check with each State before going there.
Personally, if a State does not recognize my permit, I avoid that State and spend
my money elsewhere. For food (light game) a folding or breakdown .22 rifle
is good...one even floats.
Be prepared,

Years ago there survival kits that the USAF carried that had a little folding .22
cal rifle. It was a neat little thing and very good at close range. In survival
situations you don't need large caliber weapons to kill rabbits, birds,
etc., for meat. If landing in "Indian country" that's different. Up in AK and
wilder points north, because the average big Brown bear will not even notice
a .22 so we can say that where you're at dictates what to carry. I do not think
any local county Mountie will brother you with a .22 cal rifle or any caliber
rifle in you possession. ALL pistols are problems no matter what caliber.

Dear pilots,
We spoke in early 2005 about our first Aero GP competition (held in Slovenia),
which met with great success! We had worldwide media coverage and our television
programme was broadcast on TV in more than 100 countries! In April 2006
our first full world series is beginning and were looking for more pilots to
join the tour.
Ive attached a brief introduction about it, so if you are interested in competing
in the Aero GP series this year please let me know soon. Please forward
this to anyone else who might be interested.
If not able to join us, we hope that you will still support our new series the
ultimate test of pilots in the world and help us promote it
I wish you all well and happy flying,
Jeff.

Did you install it yourself? Hard to do? I have a Garmin transponder,
anything special to worry about there?
Thanks for any help. It seems like a very simple and easy install, and a

Need more information.
Is this a fresh engine installation? Was this happening from the start? If you
move the prop governor to course pitch, on the ground with engine off, can you
move the counter weights? Can you cycle the prop at very low RPM's on the ground?
If you answer yes to all these questions, I have an answer.

Michael,
I had the same problem, except mine was a new installation. I found that I was
missing three parts to the propeller. They fit into the prop shaft of the "Speed
Reducer". If you look at Volume 2, Power plant and Special Equipment, Chapter
08 Propeller, Figure. 8-4a parts 3, 4, and 5. The absence of these caused my
problem. Check this area of your prop. Check part number 2 to see if it is still
seated. If not seated, then you have found the problem.
Good hunting.

Michael,
If you haven't lubed the hub bearings and sliders recently, now might be a good
time. With the prop dome off (oil pressure removed) you should be able to move
the counterweights. If not, get the proper tools from Doug and dive in. Use
Aeroshell #5 to repack the bearings, after completely degreasing and blowing clean
with shop air. Assuming you find no scoring on the thrust plates from lack
of lube, that means too much bearing wear.

The best deal on a vest that I could find was in the (Cheaper Than Dirt)
catalog. They have several styles, and the price is right.
Have mind loaded with enough supplies, and signaling devices, food, etc. to
last for two-three days. I put my hand-held radio and cell phone in the
vest. Admittedly, one has to become accustomed to the added bulk on you body,
however, it is not that uncomfortable.
First, one has to survive the crash landing!
See yau'll at Waycross and a Happy New Year.

Sorry if I have offended you Drew. If I were you I wouldn't want dissent
from the ranks either. But I understand. If I disagree and voice my

That is very polite of you. An open forum is probably not the best place
to discuss areas of disagreement with our organization. In fact, it is
probably best not to discuss it at all. It *is* best if everyone is 100%
behind the leadership.
BTW, I saved your voice mail but then accidentally deleted it while
going back through and cleaning up my mailbox. Sorry. If you send me
your phone number I will return your call.
BTW, I am in Florida right now (JAX tonight and Opa Locka for the next
couple of days before returning to JAX on Friday) and would love to have
a cup of coffee with you (or anyone else in FL who's convenient). I
expect to head back to SAC on Friday too.

The most popular alternator conversion adds a GMC truck alternator. The
only problem is that it has no OV protection either and while they are a
lot more reliable than the stock generator, they can fail. The B&C
alternator and controller conversion is far and away the best (and most
expensive).
It is possible to add OV and on/off capability to a stock truck
alternator tho'. It is neither difficult nor expensive to do.
But don't rush to change it. The generator works just fine until it
fails and it usually gives you a pretty good hint that it is on the way
out. At that time you can upgrade to an alternator and save some weight
in the process. In the mean time, save your money.

It is about 42 gallons so you are safe under almost all conditions to
flight plan for 2 hours leaving you a good reserve. I used to regularly
operate at altitude (11,000'-12,000', 1800 RPM, MAP reduced slightly,
and leaned just a hair lean-of-peak) with a fuel burn down around 11 gph
which gives me three hours plus normal reserve. TAS will be around 135
kts. I use that when the winds are favorable in order to reduce the
number of stops on long cross country flights. I have made some 500nm
legs in a CJ with stock fuel that way.
Try it a couple of times and carefully measure your fuel burn before
counting on it.
BTW, Barry's comment about the gouge of 1min/ltr is a good one for a
conservative calculation of time aloft remaining.
The stock Chinese fuel gauge is amazingly accurate. Fly a couple of
times and check the accuracy of the gauge before counting on it but I
think you will find it works very well. Mine indicated almost exactly 5%
less fuel than I had on board leaving me with a built-in 5% margin.

Fly E along the Columbia River Gorge to The Dalles in order to get on
the back side of the Cascades where you will be dealing with very
different weather patterns. From there the desert air will be more
conducive to pleasant VFR flying.
Do go out and practice under the hood so you can fly using the Chinese
AI in a pinch. Rules and regs aside, weather can change and you want to
be able to safely turn around and fly out of unplanned IFR conditions.

Val,
perhaps a good compromise would be to stick with standard tanks but fit a JP
Instruments FS450. Hook it up to your GPS and it'll tell you how much fuel
you need to your next waypoint, and what the reserve will be when you get
there. Very useful when those pesky windsaloft are not what you
expected........ Plus; it's a LOT cheaper than extra tanks.

Can anybody give me a phone # for an Avionics shop
that has done a Pitot static check/ IFR cert. on a CJ?
The local avionics shop says they can't do it because
they don't have an adapter that will fit the CJ pitot
tube. Would like to see how another shop did it. The
airplane is flown actual IFR so I want it done right.
Thanks, Robert Starnes

Do to time constraints I paid to have the unit installed. I also had a harness
built but I don't remember who did it for me but it was only $75.00 I think, and
I believe Dynon can give you the name of the guy that did it.

Michael,
Check that the clamp that secures the prop control actuator tubing is not allowing
the tube to move when you move the pitch lever.

Gents, I have experienced a failure of the standard propeller fitted to my CJ6A
in the form of it will not change from fine to course pitch, symptoms as follows.
Ground run exercised prop on run up ok,
After take of noticed slow to reduce RPM
During flight could not adjust pitch at all had to use throttle (i.e. fixed pitch)
On ground found that I was unable to move prop blade counter weights at all.
Oil pressure was fine well with in spec=92s.
Any in put would be greatly appreciated.

When I talked to a local avionics shop (LAC Avionics at SJC) they said no
problem Pitot is like either an Aerostar or a Commander don't remember
which. The case usually is that some shops don't want to mess with a
strange non-certified aircraft.

Mike:
Thanks for sending out instructions on how to verify
FAST status. I checked mine and found that I'm not
listed. I'd appreciate it if you could assist me in
getting things squared away by either letting me know
what part of my submittal is lacking or by pointing me
to the right person.
I was a member back in 2003 but let it lapse. I
renewed in October and show a charge to my credit card
on 10/27/05 for $37 for renewal and FAST card fee. I
submitted the paperwork from my FAST wing eval and
checkride at about the same time. The flights were at
ARS in May 05. I sent them to the address on the form
and still have copies if you (or someone else) needs
them.
Please let me know what else I need to do. Also,
please switch this thread over to my
"harry@hirschman.com" email address cc'd above because
I check that one more frequently than the yahoo
address. By the way, I received email notices for the
bylaws voting so I suspect that my membership is up to
date. So perhaps the FAST paperwork did not make it
to the right person.
Thanks in advance,
Harry
PS: I bet you're getting a lot of emails like this
these days. Appreciate your help over the holidays.
